Bemma's Christmas

Bemma is a term coined by our children (and their friends).  Unbeknown to them, we are not the same person, we have very different tastes in wine but this is a selection that we completely agree on.

Majolini. Franciacorta Brut 2021
Usually the fizz choice is easy: Cantine della Serra's bone dry Erbaluce Brut 'Serra Blu', which, pound for pound, is amongst the best wines that we sell.
But, it's been a strange year! ...nothing compared to Majolini's run of tiny vintages - and this year's Brut just reminded us that something seriously impressive can come out of hardship.
The best 'House Champagne' I have tasted. Where it used to be delicate brioche and candied lemon, it is now a glorious floral fizz: delicate citrus fruit shot through with dried pineapple and mango. Perfect purity and the finest mousse. 12.5%

Favaro. Le Chiusure 2021 Erbaluce di Caluso
There are a few cases of the 2021 held back for the first takers of this Christmas Case.
Classic white peach, elderflower and blackberry leaf on the nose, a gloriously concentrated and precise wine with gently spiced peach and apricot flavours. Taut, mineral, very fine. 13%  After the 2021 have gone, it is not as though the 2022 is anything to be disappointed by!

Caves de Donnas. Valle d'Aoste Donnas 2019
Stony, fresh, immediate red berry fruit, mint and sage, dried rose and just a touch of Turkish delight. Intricate and delicious.
